Wee update. Got an hour this evening to into shed.
Onto paddock stand and checked rear wheel , chain sprocket and looked for any play. Nothing. Chain has done much millage , new Febuary this year. But i did slacken and redo chain tension. All good and straight.
So engine sprocket,,, cover off and all good. To be honest this is where i was expecting trouble but i did upgrade on sprocket nut a while ago. Again i was spinning rear wheel and looking and listening for anything,, nothing. Played around with sprocket and couldnt feel anything , play or roughness.
So fired up and into gear while on stand,, and all good. There was the usual chain jumping a bit but nothing out of ordinery. Used my foot to put pressure on rear wheel (not recommended if you are wearing good boots) ,, nothing.
One last wee thing to try for night,, off stand,, into gear ,, front brake and see how she pulls. It would quite happily put me through side of shed,, but no grinding noise,, ahh :o :\ ,, good or bad ,dont know.
So tomorrow ill take wee spin to see whats happening when im on the move. Time for a beer and some head scratching.
